    Just finished a week of work experience at Brú na Bóinne, shadowing the guides there.
    The OPW, who run most of the sites like Brú, Dublin Castle, Kilmainham jail, the Casino in Marino etc. put out a notice for applications in the papers in October/November.
    Interviews usually take place in February. This year, they're only going on about now, but i'm pretty sure you've missed out on this year. Not sure about other, non-OPW places.
    Regarding experience, they don't require any specific guiding experience, or area of study, and as far as I know it's often students like yourself who go for the jobs, so you're perfectly qualified!
